“We had a fantastic stay at The Book Nook. The cabin was exceptionally clean and tidy, with beautiful, thoughtful pieces throughout. The whole space had a whimsical, adventurous feel – you can feel the love and care that has gone into creating it. Every corner holds something delightful to discover, creating a warm and enchanting atmosphere. We enjoyed following the well marked trails around the site, feeling at one with nature and taking in the breathtaking country views”

“We’ve just returned from the most serene and wonderful stay at The Book Nook – we loved every minute of it. The Book Nook is absolutely beautiful and has been put together with so much thought, care and attention to detail. Every corner feels magical, creating a cosy and welcoming space that is perfect for switching off and relaxing. We spent our time reading (of course) and enjoying an enchanting walk, soaking up the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding area, and simply appreciating how special this place is. It felt like stepping into a little slice of magic. The host was also absolutely lovely – really warm, friendly and clearly passionate about creating a wonderful experience for guests. Sarah’s care and thoughtfulness shine through in every aspect of the stay. If you’re looking for a peaceful, unique and beautifully curated getaway, I couldn’t recommend The Book Nook more highly. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed and planning when we can return.

“What an amazing place! Enchanting is the most fitting way to describing it. It is very obvious that much love has gone into the making of this little hideaway. The creativity is mindblowing. I won’t write too much about it, so as not to give away the absolute wonder of this very special place. It’s great as an adult to be able to have the feeling of wonder, as you once did as a child”.

The hosts were kind, friendly and helpful, the accommodation was original and fun, the information given was perfect and informative and the views were everything we could have wished for. One of the most pleasant, relaxing and enjoyable holidays we have ever had. We arrived and felt instantly at home and relaxed and that feeling didn’t leave for the whole long weekend. Would we return? Oh yes indeed. Yes please.”

“We had an amazing 3 nights at the Book Nook – what a spot! There is so much to love here, from the cabin itself with its delightful decor, to the surrounding nature and idyllic setting in Dartmoor, and the thoughtful touches in terms of the warm welcome and hospitality. Sarah and Nick have obviously put a lot of care and love into the cabin, and we felt really lucky to have stayed here. It really is like being transported to a calmer time while still having everything you need for a great break. Cosy fires, walks around the scenic woods, and easy access to explore Dartmoor, with so much creativity, imagination, and care. Book the Book Nook and you’re in for a treat!”

The cabin is SO thoughtfully done. It’s a gorgeous, cosy space equipped with everything you could need for a couple of nights away. Communication from Sarah and Nick was excellent, the cabin was easy to find, and we really appreciated all the extra touches. A 10/10 magical stay – we’ll be recommending it to everyone “

Cosy stove and a ladder to the mezzanine bed add to the fun. Extremely quiet apart from the welcome sounds of nature and lots to see around the area – Dartmoor and nearby coastline. Lovely hosts.

“Whilst staying at the Book Nook, I texted a friend some photos. She wrote back: “The interior looks like what I’d imagine a small mouse’s house would look like in a fairytale.”
“Fairytale,” is the perfect word to describe this place, so I had to borrow her words. It’s whimsical, unique, and just absolutely gorgeously put together- so much love has clearly been poured into every millimetre and it was a wonderful space to inhabit; restorative and inspiring, the perfect escape- just like retreating to the pages of a well-loved novel, only better. Sometimes these places can be style over substance, but not so with the Book Nook. It’s a fantastically practical space, with so many thoughtful details to make it a more comfortable stay- from the fantastically outfitted and efficient kitchenette- with not just coffee provided, but *good* coffee- to the spare blankets under the armchairs, to the plentiful well-placed outlets and clever foldable furniture- this is a space that is truly as restful to inhabit as it looks.Sarah and Nick were incredible hosts, super welcoming and responsive, helping us with our confusion over the electric shower (very much our own fault!) and even going above and beyond and kindly giving us a lift to the station on our final day when we realised Sunday buses wouldn’t start on time to get us home.
The location, of course, is also beautiful, and we very much enjoyed longer ramblings and shorter walks alike. Sarah & Nick again provided some great recommendations nearby, and we had a delicious meal and some lovely hikes thanks to their local expertise.
We are already scheming a repeat visit- if you have the chance to book the Book Nook (no pun intended!) take it. Thank you so much again to Sarah & Nick!”

The cabin is so thoughtfully decorated and Sarah lit the log burner for us on arrival, and also left some eggs. The Book Nook is very cosy, peaceful and full of nostalgia from some of my favourite childhood books. We were able to visit Ashburton, Totnes and go for a walk on Dartmoor. Highly recommended!”
